Notes
Anonymous commentary on a treatise on arithmetic titled The Summary Called Easy Arithmetic, by al-Hadīyah Aḥmad ibn Mas‘ūd al-Ḥasaynī al-Hargāmī (Al-Hidayah Ahmad ibn Masoud al-Husayni al-Hargāmī, d. 1175/1761-2). The text of the commentary (or perhaps of the text commented upon) was completed in 1150/1737-38 (see f. 199r, line 2, transcribed below).
The lemmata commented upon are rubricated in some sections of the manuscript and overlined in others. The text contains numerous diagrams.
Begins (f. 1v, lines 2-4):
Ahmad Tahmid, praise be to him, he is Hamed Tahmid, and Muhammad is a thousand Muhammads, and then this is a quotation solution in arithmetic
Great is my strength in this section, in the treatise explaining (!) the account in a simple way, and in the copy
Its copy has been copied many times, so I say, with the help of God Almighty...
Ends (f. 199r, lines 2-5):
... So the book was completed with the help of the Lord of the Worlds in one thousand one hundred and fifty years of the Hijra of the Master of Messengers, peace be upon him
Peace be upon his honorable family and companions and upon his weak, common servant, Al-Hadiya bin Masoud Al-Husseini Al-Harkami
May God forgive him and his parents and be kind to them and to him, and may God Almighty be pleased with us and all Muslims with the sanctity of the intercessor of criminals.
Master of Messengers, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and all of them, with your mercy, O Most Merciful of those who are merciful...
Colophon
Section at the end of a manuscript text.
(f. 199r, lines 5-6):
...The so-called message was completed
It is easy to classify the role model of investigators, the butter of auditors, Maulvi Mir, Sayyed Al-Hadiya, Hosseini Harkami
